Chapter 1836 Aoki's Exploding Talisman
Zhou Ruan moved quickly through the secret passage.
His heart felt as if it had been thrown into a bowl of molten iron, aching and burning with pain.
why?
He clearly had such a huge advantage, so how did he suddenly end up like this?
Someone had told him before that the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be nearing its end around this year.
His opportunity came in that year.
If he can get that position, they can negotiate terms.
The other party had told him that although the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was nearing its end, it still had a chance if the terms were agreed upon.
Zhou Ruan felt that when he grew up, he would definitely have the ability to lead the Great Zhou to a new level and create a new glorious era.
He wanted to be an emperor praised by the people for all eternity.
A great emperor throughout history.
I've heard that once you become that kind of person, even if you die, you won't become an ordinary ghost, and you won't have to go through the ordinary cycle of reincarnation.
He may very well be able to ascend to the ranks of immortals after his death.
Even if he doesn't make it, if he is reincarnated, he will still be an extraordinary person from birth.
In his next life, he will be able to create another glorious era.
That's the kind of person he wants to be.
But why is everything not going according to his plan? Where exactly did things go wrong?
He already knew about this secret passage.
However, even the crown prince doesn't know about this.
As long as he gets out, there will still be a chance.
Zhou Ruan ran quickly, his footsteps mingling with his rapid breathing...
No, there seems to be another sound.
Zhou Ruan suddenly stopped and listened carefully. He could hear footsteps approaching him from behind.
His expression changed, and he immediately ran forward.
No way, how could anyone know about this secret passage?
But soon, a whooshing sound came from behind, and with a bang, Zhou Ruan was hit in the back, and he couldn't help but fall forward.
After falling to the ground, Zhou Ruan reacted very quickly. He did not panic immediately, nor did he give up and wait to die. Instead, he immediately swung his hand and threw a small jade ball behind him.
The jade ball shattered instantly upon hitting the ground.
A wisp of black smoke drifted out from inside and rushed towards the people behind, like a venomous snake.
Zheng.
The sound of a sword being drawn rang out, followed by a whoosh of air and a flash of cold light. Aoki's sword cleaved the black mist in two.
The black energy vanished without a trace immediately after being split open.
Zhou Ruan found it hard to believe.
No, this was the life-saving aura that person gave him.
He clearly stated that once this thing was released, any living being present, except for him, would be attacked, immediately faint, and harden.
Why was this thing suddenly cleaved in two by the opponent's sword?
Aoki took a few steps forward, sword in hand.
The guards followed behind him.
They all understood that Aoki had protected them just now.
They quickly followed Aoki.
They were all shocked when they saw Zhou Ruan's appearance. Although they had heard that the Fifth Princess had become the Fifth Prince, seeing it in person was still a different story.
I never expected that the Fifth Princess would actually be dressed as a man.
Aoki also glanced at Zhou Ruan.
Indeed, Zhou Ruan looked more reasonable dressed as a man.
The previous Fifth Princess had a strange air of heroism and androgyny.
But she was physically weak since childhood and had always been kept at home, so she should have been a delicate and elegant young woman.
Now it makes sense; he was born a man.
“Fifth Princess, no, I should call you Fifth Prince?” The tip of the green wooden sword slowly pointed at Zhou Ruan. “What are you doing in the secret passage? His Highness the Crown Prince is worried about you and sent us to pick you up.”
Prince!
Zhou Ruan quietly reached behind her with one hand.
He still has something else, something else that can save his life.
Just as he was about to take out the item, Aoki suddenly threw a talisman at him.
"Roasted Wild Boar Black Smoke Talisman!"
Aoki shouted.
"boom!"
"what!"
The guards only saw that something suddenly exploded in front of them, and a cloud of black smoke instantly billowed out.
The Fifth Prince and his men were all shrouded in this cloud of black smoke and could no longer be seen.
Then I heard his screams.
When the black smoke dissipated somewhat, they all saw the Fifth Prince, who had changed appearance—
His hair was disheveled, his face was covered in black soot, he was puffing out a puff of black smoke, and his clothes were torn in several places.
He lay on the ground, barely breathing.
All the guards turned to look at Aoki.
Aoki sheathed his sword and explained, "Actually, the name of this talisman is too long, so I'm not sure if that's the correct way to say it."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Fortunately, the First Mystic Sect's talismans are powerful. Whether the name is correct or not doesn't matter; they still work."
This is the princess's talisman, but at this moment, Qingmu felt it was better to just attribute it to the First Mystic Sect, rather than mentioning the princess, which would only attract too much attention to her.
Besides, he said it in front of Zhou Ruan, so that Zhou Ruan wouldn't only remember the princess.
The guards: "..."
They were so envious. Could His Highness the Crown Prince cultivate a good relationship with the First Mystic Sect in the future and equip them with some of these powerful and useful talismans as well?
However, is it right for Aoki to treat the Fifth Prince like a black pig and blast him?
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, they immediately stepped forward and lifted Zhou Ruan up.
When the Crown Prince and his entourage saw Zhou Ruan, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Not to mention the old Duke with failing eyesight, even Prime Minister Shen couldn't recognize who this dark-skinned man was.
"Your Highness, we've captured the Fifth Prince!"
"This is five, five five five..." The old Duke stammered.
The main problem is that I still don't know what to call this person.
However, Zhou Ruan's clothes were torn in several places, and he was now dressed as a man, so no matter how you looked at him, you could tell that he was a boy.
It really is a man.
The Crown Prince looked at Zhou Ruan like this, wanting to laugh but daring not to.
"Take him away and keep him under strict guard," the Crown Prince said.
Zhou Ruan was taken away and locked up.
They immediately went to the emperor's bedroom.
The imperial physicians, including Tan Liang, came to examine the emperor, and each of them had a solemn expression.
When the old Duke and his men arrived and saw the situation, their hearts sank.
"Imperial Physician Tan, how is the Emperor?"
“His Majesty is seriously injured,” Tan Liang said after a long silence. “His Majesty suddenly felt cold, which is due to the invasion of evil wind. His pulse is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and sometimes it is almost undetectable. His blood is stagnant and his qi is weak, so we cannot make a clear diagnosis of the cause for the time being.”
The old Duke was furious. What kind of nonsense is this?
"When will the Emperor wake up?"
"He won't wake up for the time being!" Tan Liang's tone became a bit harsher.
The emperor was clearly greatly shocked and frightened, and also suffered internal injuries.
He was already getting on in years, and his health hadn't been good before. This shock, fright, internal injury, and cold entering his body, although there were no obvious major injuries, were internal and much more serious than they appeared.
Where can I wake up right away?
The Empress Dowager was also making a fuss about wanting to see the Emperor, but her leg was broken, and no one had time to pay attention to her no matter how much she shouted in Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but scold Zhou Ruan.
You talked such big games, but what's the reality? Cooperation my foot!
